New York Journal and America MONDAY, DEBRUARY 19, 1940 New York Post February 23, 1940 Women Alike "The aspiration of all women in all nations is alike," according to Miss Lee Ya Ching, well-known petite Chinese aviatrix. "In China and America women want to participate more and more in the affairs of their countries." The aviatrix has learned a great deal about American women through her [[image]] Miss Lee Ya Ching good will trips which have taken her all over the country. The charming flyer and movie actress will elaborate on this statement in an address to 400 girls of the Katharine Gibbs school, 20 Park Av., on Monday, Feb. 26, at 3:45p.m. Among the students in the assembly will be many girls listed on this year's debutante lists, including Miss Jane McMillen, Audrey Goode, Marjorie Willer and Margaret Melville. SHE FLIES TO HELP HER HOME [[image]] Lee Ya Ching, Chinese aviatrix, here to aid China's war relief, poses for the lens at Roosevelt Field, L.I. She plans a 25,000-mile tour. Picture by New York Journal and American. Chinese Beauty To Soar Confucius probably never said it, but pretty Miss Lee Ya Ching, Chinese aviatrix, today was working on the theory that a pretty girl can attract more money for Chinese ware relief than a dozen men. At any rate, she was at Roosevelt Field, L.I., tuning up her Beechcraft biplane, in which she pans a 25,000-mile tour of South America and the West Indies on behalf of the relief fund of her country. The plane is named the "Estrella China," which means "China Star," and was donated by the Friends of China. She recently flew it here from Wichita, Kan. Her flight, which she plans to start within a few weeks, is being sponsored by the American Bureau for Medical Aid to China. The flight will be around South America and up through the West Indies, touching at Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Canal Zone, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Cuba.
